Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Any suggestion that safety or
security has been compromised at Northwest is both false and highly
damaging to Northwest's business. AMFA or PFAA-represented
employees who engage in such rule violations will be subject to
discipline up to and including discharge."

Source: Northwest Airlines letter to its
mechanics and flight attendants, warning them not to stage any
demonstrations that focus on security or safety. The AMFA and PFAA

July 2nd, to warn flyers of the potential hazards associated with
outsourcing aircraft maintenance -- both in the US and
overseas.
